Did you know I didn't try a Bloody Mary until I was 29?? It's embarrassing to say the least. I was convinced that I was anti-tomato juice. Welp, turns out I LOVE a freshly made tomato juice and I'll take it as a Bloody Mary or a Bloody Maria - with the Bloody Maria being my preference because I'm a tequila girl.

The key to a good Bloody Maria is 2 things. 1: you need great tomato juice. There's just no alternative - make sure you find the best quality out there if you're not making your own. 2: the toppings. It's really a meal in a glass, so you have to go to TOWN with all the accoutrements.

I'm talking bacon, grilled shrimp, pickles, olives, tomatoes, limes, you name it, anything is pretty much fair game in the bloody mary / maria game! Trust me, you'll want these at your next brunch extravaganza!

  1. Gaby I love everything you do and have followed you for quite some time.
    Because of that I feel compelled to let you know that it is incredibly hard to navigate your blog and newsletters due to the excessive ads.
    As your fans we get frustrated when attempting to read a simple menu, look at a picture or just browse for inspiration.

    Any thoughts on how you can make this a better experience?

    1. Thanks for your feedback Jennifer! We're actually working on improving this over this week! Keep me posted as you see changes

  2. I love a bloody mary, but am curious what brand of tomato juice you use? I always buy it at my local grocery store, but I'm guessing there are better brands out there and would love to try one.
